Abstract excerpt
We had previously constructed a pool of murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) mutants that contained a Tn3-based transposon sequence randomly inserted in the viral genome. In the study reported here, one of the mutants, RvM35, which contains the transposon insertion at open reading frame M35, was characterized both in vitro in tissue cultures and in immunocompetent Balb/c and immunodeficient SCID mice. Our results...
